Re: Ligatures - centered pressure

I have just bought an yany-sixs by yanagisawa. A duo ligature like bg duo: fits both clarinet and alto sax. A metal ligature that touches reed-mouthpiece only at 8 points: four of them are made from ebonite touching the mouthpiece and four small metal ones touching the reed. Doesn't touch the edges of the reed. Not even Legere european. Unlike Ishimori and Vandoren it fits also the slimmer mouthpieces like Zinner and Playnick. Very free sound. The only negative thing is, that it has "a-sax" stamped on it but no "cl"!

But price tag around 200$. Astronomical?

I have also fantasized about a thumb ligature. I even dreamed about designing one and become a millionare. The brand name would have been "Le Pouce".

Perhaps trying the F.Louis ligature and glue a clever shaped soft patch in the center of the plate?
